I never shop there. Everything is overpriced.

I don’t know enough about the situation in Hawaii to know the validity of the accusations.

Dem politicians not letting a good crisis go to waste are blaming climate change.

Plenty of blame to go around there, from local officials to the Governor.

Hawaiian Electric decided to go woke and spend $3 million on renewable energy projects and only $200K on fire prevention, even when they were aware of fields of dry grass under their power lines. When the lines were downed, HE didn't even bother to shut the power. They should have had network protectors and reclosers in place to automatically shut the power when a line went down.

Officials didn't sound the alarms. A State official held back the flow of water into Lahaina for hours, over concern for what he called 'equitable distribution'. There was no water to fight the fires.

Police barricades set up to prevent people from entering the fire zone, also prevented drivers from leaving it. People died in their cars.

No way out. Those who dodged a barricade survived



Local resident describes what she saw. We would not be seeing these videos if it wasn't for Elon Musk.

"When residents tried to fight the flames approaching their homes using hoses, they were greeted with a shocking revelation. The water had been shut off."

"And, as if that wasn't enough, the situation at Front Street in Lahaina added an extra layer of disbelief. Residents attempting to evacuate were met with a police barricade, preventing them from moving even as the flames closed in. It's mind-boggling to think that orders were given to keep those cars stationary despite the imminent danger."

Hindsight is 20/20.

one of the craziest stories I've ever seen
a guy injects some kind of chemical poison under the door of his neighbor because of noise complaints
it made the neighbor's baby ill
the sick dumbass was caught on camera - he apparently didn't even know his condo had cameras in the hall

An alligator the size of a small SUV has been captured and killed in Mississippi – and it was so big, that officials say it broke a state record.

Hard to say how deep the corruption goes.

This looks much larger than Hillary using her private server.

I'd guess we'll find out Obama did the same thing.

“I’ve been suspicious ever since my office uncovered this fact back in 2021, and we have unfortunately gotten no response from the White House to the four letters that my office has sent on this matter,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Breitbart News last week. “It is incredibly worrisome that Joe Biden continues to evade our oversight efforts surrounding his corruption.”

Should we feel sympathy for the people who choose to live in an area that goes through this exact same thing every year?
